Establishment and Amendment of 

Class D and E Airspace; Santa Rosa, 

CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E airspace and modifies Class D and E 

airspace at Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma 

County Airport, Santa Rosa, CA. This 

action, initiated by the FAAs biennial 

review of the airspace area, enhances 

the safety and management of 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. Class D and E airspace is 

amended to reflect the airport’s name 

change. Also, a minor adjustment is 

made to the geographic coordinates of 

the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

January 8, 2015. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 15, 2014 the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 

controlled airspace at Charles M. ShulzSonoma County Airport, Santa Rosa, CA 

(79 FR 41148). Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. No 

comments were received. Subsequent to 

publication, the FAA found an 

adjustment to the geographic 

coordinates of the airport was needed. 

Except for editorial changes, and the 

changes noted above, this rule is the 

same as that published in the NPRM. 

Class D airspace and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

paragraphs 5000, 6004 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Y, 

dated August 6, 2014, and effective 

September 15, 2014, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace designated 

as an extension to the Class D and E 

surface area with a segment extending 

14 miles northwest from the 4.3-mile 

radius of Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma 

County Airport, Santa Rosa, CA. Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface is modified with 

segments extending 23 miles northwest, 

28 miles southeast, and 13 miles 

southwest of the airport, and adds the 

airport name and geographic 

coordinates missing in the airspace 

designation. A biennial review of the 

airspace found these modifications 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. The description for the Class D 

airspace reflects the airport name 

change from Santa Rosa/Sonoma County 

Airport to Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma 

County Airport. The geographic 

coordinates of the airport are updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified this rule, when promulgated, 

does not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s 

authority to issue rules regarding 

aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the 

U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 

discusses the authority of the FAA 

Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation 

Programs, describes in more detail the 

scope of the agency’s authority. This 

rulemaking is promulgated under the 

authority described in Subtitle VII, Part 

A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends 

controlled airspace at Charles M. 

Schulz-Sonoma County Airport, Santa 

Rosa, CA. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist, 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

A. Regulatory History and Information 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary final rule without prior 

notice and opportunity to comment 

pursuant to authority under section 4(a) 

of the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule. The Coast 

Guard was made aware of the schedule 

for the University of Cincinnati Bearcats 

Football Fireworks on August 6, 2014. 

There are potential hazards associated 

with fireworks displays over or on the 

Ohio River and a safety zone is required 

to protect persons and property on or 

near the waterway during the displays. 

Completing the NPRM process and 

providing notice and a comment period 

is contrary to the public interest because 

it would delay this rule and the 

immediate safety measures it provides. 

Additionally, the University of 

Cincinnati’s game schedule and these 

fireworks displays are advertised to the 

local community by and through the 

University of Cincinnati organization. 

Delaying the safety zone effective date 

to complete the NPRM process would be 

impracticable as it would interfere with 

the advertised and planned for displays 

and would unnecessarily interfere with 

contractual obligations related to these 

events. 

For the same reasons, under 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for making this rule 

effective less than 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register. 

Providing a full 30 days notice would be 

impracticable and would unnecessarily 

delay the effective date of this rule. 

Delaying the effective date would also 

be contrary to public interest since 

immediate action is necessary to protect
